Safety, trust & environment

I am great at following any instructions you may have. I am very clean, organized, and conscientious of your pets’ and home’s general well-being. I am always conscientious about the physical and emotional boundaries of animals. I am skilled at reading both dog and cat body language. I don’t push them if they’re giving signs to back off. I actively search for choking hazards, mitigate escape risks like open doors or loose harnesses, and frequently monitor safety on walks. I ensure that your home is always locked and that the yard/fencing is secure while dogs are outside. I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being.

Information Jesseca N. would like to know about your pet

Helpful Info (All Booking Types) 1. Medical 2. Diet 3. Personality 4. Any Fear/Agression Triggers 5. Dogs’ training level (especially leash/walks) Additional For House Sitting Your Preferences: — do you have specific times that you want me to arrive on the first booking day & leave on the last booking day? — Do you want me to be there most of the time during the day and night, or have any specific requests regarding time spent at your house?

A typical day

I play with toys, puzzles, and find activities to keep minds active and prevent boredom. Maintaining their routine helps minimize stress and anxiety, making them less upset in your absence. With cats, I enjoy using fishing toys, setting up fun and interactive play areas with tunnels, and climbing posts, and using laser pointers. For dogs, I never tire of throwing balls, playing fetch, engaging in tug of war, or going on long walks with lots of sniffing breaks. If you have any great spots for walks or areas your dog likes to explore, I can take them there. Exploring new parks and trails with an adventurous dog is always a highlight. Scenic drives are fun as well. I also love to cuddle if that’s what your pet likes! Snuggling up with a pet while reading a book or watching a movie can be as enjoyable as an active play session. If there’s something specific that your pet loves (or hates) to do, please let me know. I easily accommodate!

my retirement: animal rescue + cafe

Pet care experience

I was the little girl who’d find abandoned eggs to hatch in my incubator, make a tadpole sanctuary in my portable aquarium, nurse birds with broken wings in shoeboxes, and carry lost kittens home to try to keep them. They’ve never been "just animals" to me—I’ve always connected to creatures in a way that is oftentimes hard with people. With such high regard for animals and pets, I treat every Rover booking as though I am caring for someone's child. I truly enjoy this experience, finding myself more and more grateful for cats' and dogs' ability to heal us, both mentally and physically. I am in my last year of medical school, so I treasure all opportunities for the stress relief that animals provide. In choosing a pet sitter, I hope my medical background can also provide you with some peace of mind while you are away from home. Whether your pet craves affection or has high energy, I strive to provide the care they deserve. My goal is to meet your pet's desires, whatever they may be—cuddling up to watch a movie, playing fetch to burn off some energy, or exploring a new area on a walk. Regarding seniors, I have personal experience with my elderly pet who required special medications and assistance. I find fulfillment in giving unconditional love to these pets during their golden years. I hope to have conveyed my dedication, dependability, and compassion as an animal lover. I would be honored to take care of your pet(s). If you feel I would be a good fit, please reach out with any questions. Hope to hear from you soon!

Miss Jessica watched all 4 of my dogs, Miss Havisham, Broderick, Gustav and Piper! (2 poodles, 1 Tibetan Mastiff and a chow chow) and she took amazing care of all of them! They all have strict diets and times they need to go out at and she served to all their needs and played with them and sent me pictures and even video called me one night so I could see my precious babies! I don’t normally put my children in the hands of anyone but for some reason I really trusted Jessica. Such a sweet nice young lady! Thank you for taking care of my fur baby’s!!!!!!!!! Love miss. Jessica.<3
